Matt Harbison <matt_harbison@yahoo.com> [Wed, 14 Dec 2022 01:51:33 -0500] rev 49803
typing: add type hints to pycompat.bytestr The problem with leaving pytype to its own devices here was that for functions that returned a bytestr, pytype inferred `Union[bytes, int]`. It now accepts that it can be treated as plain bytes. I wasn't able to figure out the arg type for `__getitem__`- `SupportsIndex` (which PyCharm indicated is how the superclass function is typed) got flagged: File "/mnt/c/Users/Matt/hg/mercurial/pycompat.py", line 236, in __getitem__: unsupported operand type(s) for item retrieval: bytestr and SupportsIndex [unsupported-operands] Function __getitem__ on bytestr expects int But some caller got flagged when I marked it as `int`. There's some minor spillover problems elsewhere- pytype doesn't seem to recognize that `bytes.startswith()` can optionally take a 3rd and 4th arg, so those few places have the warning disabled. It also flags where the tar API is being abused, but that would be a tricky refactor (and would require typing extensions until py3.7 is dropped), so disable those too.
